This week, Southwest Tennessee Electric employees volunteered at several organizations across our service area in celebration of Co-op Day of Service, an initiative that brings electric cooperatives across Tennessee together to give back to the communities they serve. Today, October 15, marks Co-op Day of Service!
On Tuesday, employees volunteered with RIFA Jackson, packing snack bags for students in Madison County Schools who need supplemental meals over the weekend. Others spent time at Chickasaw State Park with Friends of Chickasaw, helping prepare Christmas lights for Lighting of the Park, a community tradition that is free to attend and donation-based.
On Wednesday, employees volunteered at The Mustard Seed in Brownsville, helping organize the store. Proceeds from The Mustard Seed support individuals and families in need throughout Haywood County.
On Thursday, employees volunteered at the City of Munford Senior Center, repainting faded parking lot lines, weeding flower beds and spreading mulch. In Covington, employees served lunch at the Boys & Girls Club of the Hatchie River Region (Covington). They also enjoyed watching the kids perform their dances and playing basketball games with them!
We’re proud of our employees for taking time out of their week to give back and support the organizations that make our communities stronger. This is what Connecting with Purpose is all about — showing up, lending a helping hand and making a difference in the lives of others.
At Southwest Tennessee Electric, we’re proud to do more than keep the lights on. We’re here to help power thriving communities and enhance the quality of life of every member we serve. ...
